Wanted: A Few Good Dems!

Franklin County Democrats are looking to fill several county offices in the upcoming 2006 elections.  To name just a few of the offices:  Recorder of Deeds, County Collector, County Clerk, judge, and several State Representatives seats.  What we need are serious, dedicated individuals who are ready to work hard, make new friends, and be ready to work for the good people of Franklin County.  If you or someone you know has considered running for an elected office then come to our next Democrat Club meeting and we'll get the race started.  Franklin County is Fired Up and Ready to Work with our candidates.

Successful Relay for Life Event

The My Voice Progressive Grassroots Democrats raised several hundred dollars for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Washington, MO.  Several members walked the track along with cancer survivors and other participants from 6pm Friday to 9:00am Saturday.  Two major thunderstorms threatened to blow the Dems' food booth down but the strong wills of the group held on to the tent and the food.  Even though everything got wet twice (food, sleeping bags, clothing, pillows, volunteers) we survived and showed the good people of Franklin County Democrats care about finding a cure for cancer.  On a personal note I'm still wringing water out of my socks.  Good job My Voice volunteers!  Next event, let's pray for sunshine.
